About two months ago my sister let me borrow this book called Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer. She told me it was about vampires because that's what she likes to read about. I told her I wasn't really into that kind of thing but she insisted that I read it. When I opened to the first page I was immediatley intrigued by what was written. It's a suspense love story between a mortal and vampire who will do anything to keep there love between them. I found it to be such a great masterpiece that I stayed up all night just finsh it. I couldn't put it down I kept wondering what was gonna hapeen next. I rarely ever find a book that I really enjoy but this book was more than that. I'm one of those hopeful romantic kind of people and I could see everything that I was reading about it was amazing. My boyfriend couldn't even talk to me because once I started reading I couldn't stop. The romance they share in the book just gives me those butterflies like they would do anything for love. It sounds crazy but it took to another state of mind where I didn't want it to end. Once I read the entire thing I had to ask my sister if there were any other books she had written that were like this. It turns out I read the third book so I borrowed the other two and read them all within a week. They were all amazing and now the final book is coming out on August first. I can't wait i'm reading them all for the second time so I can finally read the fourth one. Even I couldn't believe that I was so fasinated by this subject. I think maybe because not only is love hard work but they took it to a whole another level it being human and vampire love. And no it's like Van Helsing the movie it's better. So I would reccommend anyone who maybe hasnt enjoyed a book in a while or anyone who is going through a tough love situation to read it. When I finished it I learned things that could help my current relationship. Even though it's not real it made want to be close to my boyfriend and never take anything for granite. I hope some read it and enjoy it. Let me know if you have reaad it and what you thought. Or let me know what you think after you read it.

Yes have came across a book now and again that once I start reading it I can't put it down. I regret it the next day because of lack of sleep....lol But yes I have done this. Try Embraced by Darkness by Keri Arthur it is a pretty good book as well.

I have three books that come to mind; The first *couldn't put down* book, of course has a title that's escaping my mind right now. I do know it's about a girl who has a baby in a Wal-Mart. Great book. The next was Jodi Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper." Amazing! Keep a box a tissues near. The third was a college assigned book "The Painted Drum," by Louise Erdrich. This was a really great book. I love a lot of detail and that's what is in The Painted Drum.
I'm currently working on Jodi Picoult's "Nineteen Minutes." It's good, but not *amazing." I'm trying to finish it this weekend so I can pick up something else.

Yeah i've actually seen the movie about the baby born in the walmart with Natalie Portman I think it's "Where The Heart Is". I've never read any of the ones you mentioned but i'll have to try them out soon. The final book by Stephanie Meyer is coming out friday. I'm so excited. Anyways I never found a book in school I enjoyed they just didn't interst me at all. I'm currently reading books 1-3 by Stephanie Meyer again to catch up and read the fourth when it comes out on friday.

Glad to hear you enjoyed that book. Many people find reading a pleasure but I don't seem to fond of it.
Even as a child, I have never been interested nor fond of reading. I don't like reading but once or twice in my lifetime, I have read a book that I couldn't put down until I finished it.
I actually forgot the book name, but I read it twice and I did find it interesting and enjoyable.

back in college, when Harry Potter becomes popular, i find it very interesting, so i began reading and waiting for another book until ive finished them all. Chronicles of Narnia also took my attention, and i've also finished reading it..
About life,Richard Carlson would be my favorite author, HE's book T\Don't sweat the Small Stuff really gives me a lot of ideas and tips about day-to-day life, and how to handle little things but seems to be big problems to us..

I've never been interested in Harry Potter books myself. I saw the Chronicles of Narnia movie to but I didn't really like it either. I just don't like that animation stuff like cartoons or anything I don't why cuz my siter of course loves all the Harry Potter books and Chronicles of Narnia. She loves to read alot. All day everyday. But this book I found really fascinating and it wasn't real either. I don't know guess i'm just picky about books even though i've never really enjoyed reading. I'm one of those people who was given a book to do a book report on it and instead when out and rented the movie then did my report. This book gave alot of advice and I got alot out of it relating it to my life. I can't wait to read the last and final book.

Harry Potter books... From book 1 up to 6... I couldn't stop reading it... I read it until 2am then I would fell asleep with a book in my hand and lights on.. then suddenly I would be awake around 3am then I would start reading again.. then fall asleep, wake, then read again... at 5am I'm totally awake because my body clock is used to waking up at around 5am then I would read again and I don't eat breakfast... I would read until lunch came... eat lunch... then read again... that is why I could finish a book for 3 to 4 days... :)

I never really cared for Harry Potter the books or movies I don't know why. My sister who is a fan of books loved Harry Potter of course she's a read aholic. I haven't stayed up all night since I was in high school until she let me borrow this book then I stayed up all night slept a little then kept reading it was weird. I think this was the first book that actually kept me up all night it was definetly the best book i've come across in years.

Oh, I definitely know what you're talking about. I mean, I haven't read that book specifically, but I've read Preston and Child Books, the Pendergast chronicles. I honestly couldn't put them down. And I thought about them when I wasn't reading. It even made me take my focus off my work, school, and my surroundings. It's weird, but I love how a book can do that.

Luckily she gave me the book in the summer. If I had read the book while I was in school I probably would of failed. The last of the collection is coming out I don't know what i'm gonna dowhen i'm done with it knowing that it's the last one she's writing. Hopefully I find another book that makes me just as taken away as this one. I can't wait to read it and find out what happens in the end. I've never read any of your mentionings of books but maybe i'll check them out.
